Rethinking the alternative remedy rule in Nigeria
by Chukwunweike A. Ogbuabor
International Journal of Public Law and Policy (IJPLAP), Vol. 5, No. 1, 2015

Abstract: This paper examines the application of the alternative remedy rule by Nigerian courts especially the Supreme Court. The paper compares the Nigerian practice with the English courts' practice. The paper finds that Nigerian courts have not been consistent and that the application of the alternative remedy rule by Nigerian courts obstructs access to justice. The paper therefore calls for a rethinking of the alternative remedy rule in Nigeria and also offers a way of resolving the mass of conflicting decisions already produced by the Supreme Court on the matter.
